  LPS-24868	Creating a site from a site template while not Enable propagation of changes from the site template Intranet Site
  LPS-21723	Create a link to Manage Site Templates from the "Add Site" menu
  LPS-28526	Unable to create a site from a site template while Enable propagation of changes from the site template is flagged

Steps to reproduce:
1) Create 60 blank roles
2) Create a site template with 14 pages and about 70 portlets overall
3) Create a new site with this template

Observed behavior: It took ~20 seconds to create a new site on SSD and about ~30-50 on external HDD.

Root cause:
During portlet export permission exporter adds a record for every role in portletDataContext, even if they don't have any actionKeys, and it causes a lot of unnecessary processing at the import.

Solution:
Skip roles which doesn't have actionKeys during permission export.

had to make additional changes because I broke startup from clean DB.

PASSED Manual Testing using the following steps:

1. 6.1.20 EE GA2 and 6.1.x EE
   1. Import tsb31.sql to new database. You can got it from LPP-6495.
   2. Start portal and sign in.
   3. Go to Control Panel/Sites.
   4. Create new site with site template.
2. 6.2.x
   1. Go to Control Panel/Server Administration/Script.
   2. Run this code with Groovy language.

      import com.liferay.portal.service.ServiceContext;
      import com.liferay.portal.service.RoleServiceUtil;
      
      final ServiceContext serviceContext = new ServiceContext();
      serviceContext.setScopeGroupId(10181);
      serviceContext.setUserId(10198);
      
      int roleCount = 60;
      
      for (int i = 0; i < roleCount; i++) {
       Map<Locale, String> titleMap = new HashMap<Locale, String>();
       titleMap.put(Locale.US, "RoleTitle #" + i);
      
       Map<Locale, String> descriptionMap = new HashMap<Locale, String>();
       descriptionMap.put(Locale.US, "Role description #" + i);
      
       RoleServiceUtil.addRole(
        null, 0, "Role#" + i, titleMap, descriptionMap, 1, null,
        serviceContext);
      }
      

   3. Go to Site Templates.
   4. Create a new site templates with 14 page, Every page contain 6~8 portlet.
   5. Create new site with the site template.

Reproduced on:
Tomcat 7.0 + MySQL 5. Portal 6.1.20 EE GA2.

When create new site from a site template, it takes long time.

Fixed on:
Tomcat 7.0 + MySQL 5. Portal 6.1.x EE GIT ID: 5470253434590c284a20d0298833011d472c1555.
Tomcat 7.0 + MySQL 5. Portal 6.2.x GIT ID: 40af317d613f8e84a8bb6b886910eeec6d71f671.

Create site works fine.
